Abundant & Strong (in the Year Ahead)
I'm pretty sure Pantene's new collection will inspire all of us...
Hello, Gorgeous!
I had what I can only describe as a beauty epiphany when testing out Pantene’s newest innovation - the Abundant & Strong Collection, which targets hair loss in women.
My a-ha(ir) moment went something like this: Ooh. Pantene. Yup. That’ll work.
As much as I love trying out indie brands and products with indecipherable labels, I really do have a sense of calm when testing out something by a legacy brand.
Pantene Abundant & Strong Collection
In case you’re curious to try the new line, it’s comprised of three products - Shampoo, Conditioner and Daily Scalp Serum. Here’s the interesting/exciting part; the product claim is that the line reduces hair loss by up to 85% while promoting “stronger, denser hair with clinically proven, dermatologist-tested antioxidant technology.”
I’ve only tried it a few times, but I did notice an immediate something happening. Not hype, but just what felt like a great shampoo/conditioner combo. Overall, I can’t confirm if my wintery lank locks are replenished for maximum floof factor. What I do know is this: Pantene isn’t in the habit of making massive product claims without being able to back them up, so I’m pretty excited to see the results in a few weeks. I mean, this is serious hair science: “After eight weeks, the system helps retain more than 6,000 strands at the root.” The three main ingredients doing just this are:
Pro-Vitamin B5 – A deeply absorbing hair nutrient with antioxidant and protein bonding powers
Niacinamide – Also known as Vitamin B3, an antioxidant known for strengthening skin’s barrier
Piroctone Olamine – An antioxidant that reduces free radicals on the scalp surface
I’ll keep you posted when/if I have longer term results to report ($50, for all three pieces, on Amazon).
